NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!

The train is express. It stops for no one. When will you reach your destination?

In the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass.

This is incredible holy shit

I had a period of time where I became infected with the hatred of Tolkien Elves. Elves always seemed on the surface to be arrogant, dettached, or insincere and judgemental, but really, as my boyfriend pointed out, they’re incredibly empathetic. Thandruil is probably the most resistant to his empathetic nature, but even he breaks a little. Elves have been the sort of guardians against evil for centuries and centuries and once they started declining they became just much less inclined to keep putting their necks out; which you really can’t blame them for. It’s just easy to forget they’re not meant to be human with -all- human faults, but their own race with their own faults and their own superior connections with their emotions. Much like hobbits and how sympathetic they can be in the face of something that is terribly sad, even if it’s a sadness they can’t really understand because they’ve never experienced it before. To be hundreds or thousands of years old and not to become jaded is just amazing, even if it is just a fantasy race.
